policy-map

To create or modify a policy map that can be attached to multiple ports to specify a service policy and
to enter policy-map configuration mode, use the policy-map global configuration command. To delete
an existing policy map and to return to global configuration mode, use the no form of this command.

Usage Guidelines Before configuring policies for classes whose match criteria are defined in a class map, use the
policy-map command to specify the name of the policy map to be created or modified. After you enter
the policy-map command, the switch enters policy-map configuration mode. You can configure or
modify the class policies for that policy map and decide how to treat the classified traffic.
These configuration commands are available in policy-map configuration mode:
•
•
•
•
To return to global configuration mode, use the exit command. To return to privileged EXEC mode, use
the end command.
You can configure class policies in a policy map only if the classes have match criteria defined for them.
To configure the match criteria for a class, use the class-map global configuration and match class-map
configuration commands.
Examples

policy-map policy-map-name
no policy-map policy-map-name
Name of the policy map.
